Well it's another rainy night, here in my home town
F
And the rain beats down on the stone surround of the prison grounds
C
Well you can raise a smile but lower your eyes when you pass by
F
You'd surely understand if you were the man, doing time
Bb C A Dm
I guess it's fair to say I had more than my share that day
Bb C F
And you know, I've been told, all prison bars are closed.
[Chorus]
Bb Am Bb F
So won’t you raise your glass get drunk for me
Am Bb C
'Cos I'm the fool who drank too much, you see.
Bb Am Bb F Bb C F
So won't you set them up unselfishly please raise your glass to foolish me.
Am Bb C
[Verse 2]
F C
When I left the factory gate I was perfectly straight and sober
F
But I stopped for a short one which led to a long one and murder
C
Well he was six feet five, about twice my size, but I was crazy
F
Because I heard him say, my wife, in the day was no lady.
Bb C A Dm
I guess it's fair to say I had more than my share that day
Bb C F
And you know, I've been told all prison bars are closed
[Chorus]
Bb Am Bb F
So won’t you raise your glass and drink to me
Am Bb C
'Cos I'm the fool who left her alone you see.
Bb Am Bb F Bb C F
So won't you set them up unselfishly please raise your glass to foolish me.
Am Bb C F
